Corn hole.
With some exceptions, golfers today are surprisingly fit and spend a lot of time in the gym. To be competitive on the tour, you have to be able to consistently drive the ball 290+ with the top players pushing 320+. To be able to do that week in and week out without destroying your back, you have to spend a lot of time getting strong.

No.
A slow major leaguer is pretty fast. They don’t train for endurance running, and they are not selected for that. Outfielders are fast and strong- Even the below average major league players.
Baseball players produce a lot of power- in hitting and throwing.

Exactly. I have to laugh at anyone who says golf. What a moron. Attend any golf tournament and watch the caliber of play. It is beyond astonishing, probably the highest caliber of play of any sport. As you described you can't even follow the ball. That's how far it goes.
It is the reason elite athletes from all sports are jealous of golfers and nobody else. Tiger and Jordan are very good friends. But in that relationship Tiger holds trump over Jordan, not the other way around. Jordan knows damn well the aura of being the best golfer in the world and perhaps of all time.
Most of the top golfers nowadays are gym types like Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka. How do you think DeChambeau rose to prominence and 50 extra yards? That's not cheeseburgers. It's lots of simpletons still clutching tired stereotypes and believing what they want to believe.
BTW, attend an LPGA event. You won't be able to follow the ball there either.
I very much doubt that Tiger holds trump over Jordan. MJ is the one of (and in my opinion THE) greatest of all time in a sport that's more popular than golf in the US and internationally. Kids all over the world grow up wanting to be like Mike. Tiger is a legend, but MJ is on another level.
I know, really. Kids male and female the world over buy Jordan’s shoes and dream of playing like him, Kobe, LeBron and Giannis. His fans are counted by the billion.
A few million old white guys in America want to be like Tiger.
No contest.

Sorry. Kids all over the world want to grow up and be like Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi. Most kids don't even know who MJ is or ever watched him play. He's just some old dude.

If you think kids around the world don't know who MJ (or Kobe or LeBron or Giannis or Dirk or Luka, etc.) is, you haven't seen much of the world. Basketball isn't as popular globally as international football, but it is the next most popular sport globally. It is not limited to America, has not been for decades, and everybody but you knows this.

Honestly in the UK you would get blank looks from the majority of kids if you asked them to name a basketball team

Prove you're from the UK. Post a picture of your teeth.
Baseball ain't a sport. Golf, tiddlywinks, darts, chess, jacks, poker, nascar, equestrian, square dancing - not sports.
pool? They had a guy called Minnesota Fats, for goodness sake.

You never played baseball or were around sports if you believe that. All the guys on our HS team were good athletes and most were starters on the football or basketball teams.
On average, I believe baseball players are the best athletes among the major team sports in the U.S.
What skills do you believe a MLB player lacks that make them non-athletic? If baseball is so easy why didn't you play?

It ain't a sport if many many of the people in the Baseball Hall of Fame were too fat to see their own shoes. It ain't a sport if 99.999% of the time is spent sitting around a dugout or standing idle on a field.

A few baseball players are athletes, but it certainly isn't required by any means to succeed at the very highest level in the game, not sport, of baseball. I'm sure that there are some athletes in pro bowling and pro darts too. I'm positive that there are many fatass couch potatoes playing MLB and on the pro bowling circuit.

So you can Google. What level of baseball did you play? What athletic skills do baseball players lack that make them non-athetetes? Why were so many MLB players 3-sport stars in HS?
When Babe Ruth started his career he was slim. Was he an athlete then, but not later when he put on a gut?

The average college level baseball player is far, far, far more of an all around athlete than 99.99999% of pro long distance runners.

I didn't play baseball - too busy doing things that didn't require sitting or standing around for hours on end. And I'm not sure why you are taking this so personally. It isn't as if you were ever a pro baseball player, or a star in a real sport. Not saying that some baseball players aren't athletes. I am saying that you don't have to be athletic at all to be an All Star Hall of Famer in baseball. You can be morbidly obese and be an All Star in baseball - this has happened many many many times.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A GOOD ATHLETE TO GET INTO THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A GOOD ATHLETE TO BE AN MLB ALL STAR
YOU CAN BE MORBIDLY OBESE AND STILL BE A BASEBALL HALL OF FAMER
BASEBALL AIN'T A SPORT

Whats your point? Something about the MLB Hall of Fame?
Anyway, the average college baseball player is very athletic. Faster, stronger and more jumping ability than the vast majority of XC runners.
